Production Update 11.5.2026

Site Configuration Phase 3: Product Variants by Site

This release completes the third phase of site configuration capabilities. Phase 1 introduced per-site planner UX customization, Phase 2 brought SKU mapping per site, and Phase 3 now adds tag-based product variant control — enabling manufacturers and their resellers to each have a distinct product offering, all driven by the same underlying product logic.

Tags are the core mechanism: define them once in the Product Library, then use them to control what's available on each site.

Product Library Tag Management
: Tags are now created and managed centrally in the Product Library, with name, optional description, and a usage count showing how many times each tag is referenced across the catalog.
Tags in Sales Code Mappings
: Tags can be assigned in Sales Code (SKU) Mappings to link product variants to specific site configurations.
Tag-Based Part and Material Visibility
: Parts and materials can be configured with a Site Visibility property using tags. If a site configuration includes or excludes certain tags, only matching parts and materials are visible in that site's configurator — making true per-reseller product catalogs possible without duplicating product data.
Site-Specific Pre-Made Compositions
: Pre-made compositions (preset product variants or bundles) can now be assigned to specific site configurations, so different resellers can offer their own curated packages.

Scripting System Improvements

Lambda Expression Support
: The scripting system now supports lambda expressions, enabling
Map
,
Filter
, and
Reduce
operations on arrays. For developers writing product rules, this means you can now filter option lists, transform values across a set of parts, or aggregate results — all within the scripting language. Customers who rely on complex configuration logic may see new capabilities unlocked in their products as a result.
Scriptable Rotation Values in Connectors
: Connector rotation values can now be driven by scripting expressions. New built-in functions cover quaternion operations: multiplication, normalization, interpolation (slerp), and conversions from Euler angles or axis-angle. This makes dynamic part orientation based on configuration state possible.

Product Placement

Free Placement Part Rotation
: Parts in free placement layouts can now be rotated. Rotation is applied around the part's center point, with automatic position adjustment to avoid collisions with nearby parts.

Product Catalog UI

Improved Category Creation
: When creating a new category or sub-category in the category structure editor, you are now prompted to name it immediately — no more renaming a default "New Category" placeholder after creation.

Bug Fixes

Fixed: OptionGroup elements were not visible in ConnectivityMatrix.
Fixed: Opening the Asset Picker was slow due to redundant backend queries.
